CONEY MARKET AND COI MECIAL INTELLIGENCE, CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK. Tile money market remains in a firm and active Coniition. There is no apparent diminution in the hating balances of the discount establishments, but a ° the demand for accommodation, usually large at the present season, continues extensive, the Bank England minumum is the lowest rate charged of doors for the negotiation of the best mercan tile bi lls. About £28,000 in gold was taken out of the Bank Saturday-. , The amount of specie on board the Ripon, which 'eft this morning for Bombay, was £138,955. The share-list of Wilnecoote Collieries and Blue Iron Brick Company will close on Tuesday next 'ar ondou and Thursday next for the country, that °f the General Financial and Estate Agency Cor 120ration on Thursday next for London and on baturday next for the country. The accounts from the various manufacturing di stricts for the past week represent that business , titi been moderately active, although in some in. " a nus the aspect of Continental politics has in a Veit measure checked export operations. At Manchester a fair amount of business has been transacted in both cloths and yarns. while t he woollen trade of Leeds, Bradford, and Hudders. ge ld has been seasonably active. Io the hosiery and lace departments of Leicester and Nottingham there has been an average demand for most descrip tions of goods, while in the hardware districts of ~ 1 3ir raingham, Sheffield , and Wolverhampton the dealing s in articles suitable for home use have slightly increased. Two o'CLocK. At the PAris Bourse this morning, according to / 1 211ter's telegrams, the Three per Cent. Relate Were quoted 66t. 57c. 65f. 60c. Flat. Considerable buoyancy prevailed en Saturday in the market for the English Funds, the advance, compared with the latest prices of the pre /inus afternoon, representing no less than I Per cent. About 1 of this improvement, however, has been lost to-day, and affairs look 4 58 cheerful than they did at the close of last week. Consols are 901 for transfer, and 901 exaotly for t he account. It is very natural that a feeling of d eeP anxiety should be manifested in connection t With politics. The failure of the Conference 448 quite prepared the public for a very dis couraging Ministerial statement this evening. T he monetary and commercial community a re fully sensible of the danger, and there to consequently a desire to curtail rather then increase outstanding engagements.

The supply of foreign wheat on the stands was very mo derate. Both continental and American qualities were hold at considerably enhanced rates.

A SILLY CAPLUN.—Mary liller, a Ratcliff-highway girl, was brought before Mr Partridge, charged with steal ing a silver watch, valued at £6 , and 30s in silver, from the person of John Perfect, the master of the sloop Ebenezer, lying in the London dock. She was also charged with biting Alfred Herbert, No 210 H. It appeared that Captain Perfect was out on a cruise a few days since, and met with the prisoner, who took him in tow, and he accompanied her to a public-house in Ratchff highway, where he treated her with lots 0 grog. A couple of darkeys, as Ethiopian serenaders (white men with their faces blackened) indulged the couple with music, and Captain Perfect, who was quite delighted with their strains, took from his pocket 13 or 14 half-crowns and gays them some money. Ha fell asleep directly after wards, and when he was aroused by the landlot d, his sweet heart was gone, the musicians had vanished, and his silver watch, valued at SG, and all his money had disappeared. His gold chain was hanging loose in front of him. The prisoner was subsequently taken into custody. She resisted being searched by Mrs Crosier, the female searcher, and assaulted her. Herbert, a constable, No. 210 H, went to the assistance of Mrs Crozier, and the prisoner attacked him and bit his hand. Mr Joseph Levy, the landlord of the Kettle Drntn, Rateliff-higbway, said the captain of the Ebenezer was only in his house a few moments, He was informed the two darkeys took Captain Perfect's watch, and the prisoner took his 'Loney. Mr Partridge said the captain was sleep in a public•house w ith money and a silver watc h w i t h gold chain about hi m . H e was only surprised that t h e gold chain was not stol en . I t would be useless to sen d this the case for trial. Ho discharged a silly fellow to go to prisoner as far as the felony was concerned, and committed her to prison for a month for the assault.

Grant. He started from his camp on the north side of the Rappahannock little more than a month ago with 130,000 men. He has been reinforced, according to more th an 80,000 since that time—viz., Stanton says he sent him 25,000 veterans after the statements of his friends, by the battle of the 12th of May; Butler has sent him 20,000, and prisoners say he has received 40,000 from Ohio and other sources, making a total of 8 5,000. Yet his army at this day, in the opinion of those best qualified to judge, does not greatly exceed 100,000 men, and is certainly greatly inferior in numbers to what it was when he started on his crusade. He lost 75,000 in Spattsylvania, and his losses in Hanover cannot have fallen very far short of 25,000. Thus he has sacrificed 100,000 men, the flower not only of his own troops, but of the whole United States army. In return he has effected nothing, absolutely nothing. Lee's entire loss since the campaign opened does not amount to 17,000, all told, killed. wounded, and missing. He has never once been forced from a position, and has only fallen back when his enemy, despairing of victory, has attempted to slide off to his left, and get in his rear, without further fighting. Grant in the meantime has been brought up before M'Clellan's old lines beyond the Chickahominy, and is not able to take a single step in advance. He has thrown away 100,M men to obtain what he could have hal for mthing." SPORTING NOTES, The Odihana meeting last week was well attended by the Upper Ten Thousand, but the Fields for the various races were comparatively small. The Hurstborne Stakes opened the ball, anu produced five runners of such equal pretensions that their owners had not the courage to stand them, 3 to 1 being offered on the field at the fall of the flag. Eugenie and Purity apparently had the most admirers, and left off equal favourites; but the majority of backers being afraid to take them singly, coupled them, and then they were doomed to defeat by Discretion, who, it will be recol lected, cut up very badly at Harpenden and again at Hampton, where she ran second to Victorious by permis sion. The South-Western Plate which followed, brought out the lot entered, and resulted in a second turn-up for the fielders by the success of Signal , a good-looking three years ald colt, by Vedette out of Maid of Lincoln. He was a cast-off from T. Brown's stable, having been got rid of for 10 sous as utterly worthless; but from the very easy manner in which he cut down his field, comprising two such warm favourites as Lady Nichol and the highly-tried Hope, from John. Day's, he readily found a new owner in Mr G. Angell, at 190 guineas, and thereby benefited the fund 160 soya, The Dogmerefield Park Stakes presented in its results one of those enigmas that occ tsionlly turn up in racing, and which completely upset public running Out of the dozen appearing on the telegraph, a third of the number were in request in the ring ; Purity, from the unaccountable manner in which she cut up in the opening race of the day, was almost friendless, her starting solely depending upon her trainer, who could not believe in the truth of that race, and who, although she was meeting. Discretion upon 2lb worse terms than on the, first occas on, expressed his opinion that the running would be reversed. His opinion was correct, as Mr Nightingall's filly was never in the race, Purity winning in the most hollow style by a length from Doeford, the latter finishing three lengths in advance of Virtuous. The Handicap, as compared with former years, was a great failure, and produced but five run ners out of the dozen coloured on the card ; but if the field was scant it was amply compensated for by the close and exciting contest it produced between the ever-doubtful Aurelian and the game Redcap, the pretensions of the two being so evenly balanced that each of their respective owners hedged his stake upon his adversary. The result was in favour of Aurelian, Goater, we imagine, out-riding T. Clark at the finish. The Bibury Meeting was also well attended. A XlOO Plate, one mile, was the first on the card, and the first of those surprises which the backers of favou rites experienced during the day. It looked "a moral" for Maurice, but Principal, with Bst 61b, had the best of it all the way, and won as he liked, both the favourite and Little Savage never having a chance. In the 10 soya Sweepstakes the clever division quite overlooked Overstone, and pinned their faith on Reindeer and Walloon, the latter of whom made the running, Overstone coming out at the dip and winning in a canter. He was bought in for a pony above his selling price. In the Five Furlongs Sweepstakes Becky Sharp and Volatile, who had a see-saw for the position of favourite, cut up very badly; indeed there were only two in it, Vabalanthus and Confederate, Lord Uxbridge's colt winning, after a good race, by half a length. Lord Ports mouth's filly has not improved on her two-year-old form. , There was a fair muster in the Champagne, and one or two very good-looking ones among the lot; Lisette, on the strength of her racing look, being backed at evens against the field. She is by Yellow Jack, and has fine action. Missionary is an undeniably fine colt, but his day is net yet. The Duke of St. Albans had something very neat in Trapeze, and Cordelia and Rothomago looked as if they could gallop a bit, which one of them did, for the favourite being beaten at the dip the issue appeared to be left to Missionary and the French young one, until at the stand a brown filly was seen to shoot out from the ruck, which proved to be Cordelia, the stable companion of Lisette : she soon disposed of the two leaders and won easily. This was another great turn for the fielders, though some of the leading bookmakers grumbled a good deal, and declared they had been done badly; in fact, the betting was limited all day, The Bibury Stakes used to see a better field than the four who saddled for it. Welbeck and Suspicion were about equal favourites, the former with the call. General Hess looked going well, but retired at the distance, and Mr Bevili's horse won very easily. The first year of the Sixth Stockbridge Biennial, which on this occasion was included in the Bibury pro gramme, was the interesting event of the day, and appro prial-ely wound up the proceedings. Report had credited Lord Hastings with "a clinker" in The Duke, and though the Danebury stable had not carried its colours in front as yet, there was some chance that there would be no mistake this time. Fifteen came to the post, and it is sufficient here to say that it was a very easy affair for the favourite, who came through his horses, and with only Wild Boy—whom he shook off without difficulty—near him, won in a canter. He was immediately after made second favourite for the Derby, but Liddington will beat him whenever they meet. At the Stockbridge Meeting Cambus.can and Ely fought their Derby battle over again, where the latter reversed positions with Lord Stamford's horse. The Stockbridge Cup next claimed attention--and a very pretty thing, by the way, the said Cup is, elegant in design and execution, and calling up bad comparisons with the vulgar and poverty stricken thing that did duty for a cup at h scot this year. This, again, was a surprise. Gamma ran very badly, suc cumbing to the weight; Old Orange Girl, the second favourite, not showing well in the race, which fell to The Clown, Birch Broom, who looked going well at the dis tance, dying away when called upon. Perhaps the Beaufort Handicap was the race best worth seeing, from the magni ficent way in. which Fairwater disposed of all her competi tors, with the top weight of Oat, over two as severe miles, if not the severest, as there are in England. Redcap, to whom she gave 3st minus 21b, made the running for the first mile and a half, when Custance sent the old mare to the front, and Catchiem- Alive, and indeed everything else being out of the race at the distance, she won in gallant style with certainly a stone in hand a great performance. It was a splendid sight to see her gallop as she did over the heavy ground with a free action not exhibited by any other animal. A sad accident in the next race threw a gloom over the afternoon's proceedings. Young Clark, a very promising boy from the Danebury stable, was riding Lord Ronald, who bolted with him, flung him heavily, and falling upon him, injured him so severely as to necessitate his being immediately conveyed to John Day's house in a carriage in a state of insensibility, the surgeon who attended him giving but faint hopes of his re covery. Lord Ronald had been the favourite prior to this, but it was now regarded as a certainty for Herchell, from his previous performance at Bath and Salisbury, and he won as he liked. On Friday the Visitors' Plate saw a good race between Olivia and Catch-'cm-Alive, the mare winning cleverly in the last 200 yards. General Hess broke down. It looked a very good thing for Damascus on paper in the 5 Sovs Sweepstakes, and Perry getting away in front with the best of the start, and only Erythia near him, won in a canter. Another accident marked to -day's proceedings. The Tribute filly flung Mordan over the rails on her way to the post, and gave him a severe shaking, but happily no bones were broken. The Troy Stakes produced a good-looking field. Gardevisure, Tennyson, Kconig, and Sydmonton (a very neat-looking colt of Lord Portsmouth's) amongst them. Gardevisure of course was the favourite, though it was looked upon as just upon the cards that the duke might pull it off with Kconig. He was looking very well and inn proved since Ascot, Tennyson seemed a little above him self, and as if he did not quite like the work. Sydmonton, who played Wells such a trick on Wednesday, showed again to. day, and behaved better, a very neat-looking bay, with white legs and many good points of a racer about him The race was a good one between the favourite and licanig, Fordham coming with one of his rushes and nearly snatch ing victory from Gardevisure, whose j tckey appeared to us to draw• it a little too fine, winning only by a head. She is certainly a beauty, with a low gliding untiring action, that tells on this severe course. This race is to be run again at Newmarket during the Second October Meeting, The Uxbridge Plate was thought just the distance for Lady Clifden ; but she did not run kindly, the race being lett to Soapstone and Confederate, the former appearing to have the best of it at the distance, but declining when called upon, and Confederate won easily, In the Gentleman's Derby Mr. Bevill favoured us with a specimen of good riding, by bringing out Joco at the finish and defeating Welbeck by a head. Neither Tippler nor Trumps showed in the race, the latter being beaten off. The Stewards' Plate was a rare surprise for the London bookmakers, as Tippler's name was never mentioned in comet ction with the race, the only two backed being Lord Zetland and Fair water, between whom an exciting race was anticipated. The public have a decided right to know on what condi tions Tippler walked over, and how the stakes were divided. General Peel, Clarissimus. and another of Lord Glas gow's horses (the Senorita colt), has been removed from old Tom Dawson's stables to John Scott's, at Melton. The Worcester Meeting commences to-morrow, the principal event being the Worcestershire Handicap. Fan tail and Exchequer have the best of the weights, and ought to produce the winner between them. The former is cer tain to stay the distance, and I give her the decided pre ference of the two. On Wednesday the Northumberland Plate is set for de cision. The field will in all likelihood comprise the follow ing :—Caller Ou, Oldminster, Limosina, Borealis, Honest John, Trust, Alice, Tottenham, Baktchi Serai, Pound Again, Sir Roger, Wharfinger, and Lady Trafford. Sir Roger looks very like being an absentee. He was made first favourite on Saturday, but to-day he has been sent to the outside division. If he goes to the post I should prefer him to anything in the race. Baktohi Serai has been heavily supported during the last week, and if money will make a horse win he ought to nearly land the good thing for his supporters. Caller Ou is not able to give the weight to Baktchi Serai. Borealis will likely run to as sist Caller Ou. Trust has been occasionally supported, and is almost certain to get a Situation, if he does not turn up the absolute winner. Alice with her light weight is bound to run forward. Honest John will find the company too good. I cannot expect the same luck as last year, when I placed the first three in precisely the same position as the judge, but on this occasion he will is all likelihood place— BAKTCIII SE RAI .................. 1 TRUST CALLER OU 3 The Corporation, and the other small events aro not worth passing an opinion on.

This feat accomplished, the representative 'Whigs and big. wigs made an inspection of the brewery, and at every step of their progress Lord Brougham a c t e d as expounder, demonstrator, and spokesman, so that it soon became a question with his friends whether Truman, Hanbury, Buxton, and Company had not been suddenly rolled into ene and compressed within his lordship's mighty cranium, for he actually appeared to know more about the place, the machinery, the chemistry, and even the trade, than the practical heads of the several departments. Hare they encountered a force pump, used for raising water, or no matter for what purpose. His lordship at once explained the peculiarities of the engine, its capacity and capability; talked about it, in fact, just like an experienced engineer. So it was whichever way they turned, till they came to the mashing vats, and there it was expected he would break down. But no; he knew all about the chemistry of worts, explained off hand the effects of temperature and fer mentation on the flavour of ales, the influence of soils and seasons on the qualities of malt and hops, and thence on the values of the brewings; and, is fact, illuminated Mr. Booth, the then brewer to the firm, and one of the soundest operative chemists of the day. Then among the merry party there ran a buzz to this effect, " Wait till Brougham gets among the horses—he knows nothing about horses; we shall have the laugh of him there." Yes, catch a weasel asleep, or a Scotch philo sopher daezt or 'owl; and then tell it in Gath and else where. Brougham knew as much about the horses as the master of the stables ; could select instanter those that were strongest, those that were weakest, those purest bred, and those of corrupt lineage; and thereupon the party gave up all hope of discovering his weak point, and allowed him to participate in the convivialities of the occasion without further torture.—llibberd's Gardening Magazine. OBSOLETE PUNISHMENTS.—Our old chroniclers speak very familiarly cf " pillorising, carting, riding, whipping," and these course forms of punishment seem to have been impartially administered. In 1560, Mr. Church and his man ware set on the pillory at Westminster (the master was a justice of the peace), for wrong -doing in his office and. for slandering the Privy Council. Soon after, a skinner of Southwark underwent the like ordeal, with a paper over his head containing his indictment, whence it appeared that he had long deceived the public by soothsaying and divers im moral practices. In 1563, a woman that kept the Rose Tavern at St. Katherine's Tower, for having raw and cooked meat in her house in Lent, appeared in the pillory, while four women who partook of the forbidden meats, were set in the stocks all night. Women convicted of being in curable scolds were paraded through the streets seated on ass or horse back, with their faces to the tail, and wearing a sort of gag cr bridle in their mouths, so contrived that when they attempted to speak it would severely lacerate the tongue of the sufferer. For yet more culpable incontinence, the miserable creature was ex posed in some public thoroughfare holding a lighted taper, her feet bare and an accusatory label on her head, while she implored mercy for her transgressions. We doubt whether the moral effect of such exhibitions was at all satis factory. Te eat flesh in Lent without a dispensation was held to be a very serious crime. In pursuance of a procla mation by the Queen and Council, March Ist, 1559, no keepers of tables might expose flesh to be eaten in Lent, or at any other time forbidden by the Church. Nor were any butchers allowed to slaughter animals for food during the same period, under penalty of a heavy fine, or to stand on the pillory for 6 hours, and suffer imprisonment for 10 days. —City Press. THE SEINE AND THE SEWERS OF PARIS.—On this subject, which is attracting so much attention just now, M. Grimaud do Gaux, a competent judge, has addressed a paper to the Academy of Sciences, in which he specially adverts to M. Peligot's experiments. Starting from the fact that the mineral substances con tained in potable water, while they are easy to dis cover, do not affect public health, and are rather beneficial to it, but that with organic substances the case is materially different, our author ac knowledges that, by his analysis, M. Peligot has rendered a real service to society. But as the latter is of opinion that the quantity of mineral principles, however great, is abso lu ely irrelevant in a sanitary point of view, M. Grimaud established a distinction between potable wate r, of which scarcely a litre per head is consumed, and water intended i for man ufacturing purposes, the consumption of which is n : finitely greater, and which ought not to c ontain an excess of mineral principles. In this respe ct riv e r water ranks immediately after rain water, which contains no mineral substances whatever. Passing to the principal question, our author observes that at Ber c y Seine water is good; at 'he Pont-Neut, it is disagreeable to drink; at G renelle it cannot be drunk without a great effort, and at Asnieres it spreads an intolerable infection, owing to the discharge of the main sewer of the capital. What, ho asks, is the remedy to be adopted ? Let the main sewer b e ram ifi e d, let its branches carry the o ffensiv e matter, not into the Seine, but far into the fields by a regular system of irriga tion. The soil, by absorbing the liquids, neutralises their bad smell, and becomes itself enriched. The manure may also be subjected to certain preliminary manipulations. In 1856 the city of Leicester had, by its sewers, in fected the Soar. Since then, the liquid contents of the sewers are collected in a special receptacle, where they are mixed with slaked lime whereby a precipitate is formed, which, mixed with mud, is made into cakes, and sold for manure. Such a speculation, M. Grimaud thinks, would be extremely profitable in Paris. OYSTER CULTIVATION.—Among the places where the breedi ng of oysters has been attended with most success during the last few years, none is more remarkable than the Isle of Rho, off the west coast of France, near La Rochelle. In 1857, the last natural bed of oysters there was quite exhausted, and the 18,000 in habi' ante had no other resources than the cultivation of their barren soil and deep sea fishing, the coast being too muddy for fishing near the shore. In the year, just men tioned, an inhabitant of the island, a mason by trade, having heard of the new method of forming artificial oyster beds, applied to the Government for permission to make the experituozA near a bank visible at low water, and obtained, in February, 1858, a grant of 1,800 square metres, He immediately began to enclose his new pro perty by laying brushwood in the mud, and placing large stones on it to make a kind of wall. In July ho was preparing to obtain oyster spawn from Brittany, when he observed that his stones were covered with spawn brought by the tide. He then carefully removed them into deep r water, and awaited the result. In 1860, he gathered oysters to the amount of 150 f; in 1861, his sales brought 600 f; in 1862, 1,000 f; and last year, 1,200 f. . Hi s success soon induced other persons to follow his example, and the number of beds round the island is at present 3,040, which in the last feur years have produced a sum of 130,000 f. and raised the inhabitants to a state of prosperity previously unknown.

METROPOLITAN CATTLE. Our markets to-day was tolerably well supplied with foreign stock, but its general quality was inferior. Sales, however, progressed steadily at very full prices. The arrivals of beasts fresh up from our own grazing districts were only moderate, and there was a falling off in quality compared with several previous weeks. The re ceipts from Aberdeen were 92, from Fifeshire, &c., 212 Scots and crosses in excellent condition. Prime Scots, crosses, &c., changed hands freely at an advance of 2d per 81bs. Most other breeds were quiet at late rates. The ge neral top figure was 5s per Blbs. From Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, and Cambridgeshire, we received 1,900 Scots and crosses, including a few short horns ; from other parts of England, 900 various breeds ; from Scotland, 304 Scots and crosses; and from Ireland, 90 oxen and heifers. There was about an average number of sheep in the pens ; but most breeds come to hand in middling condition. Prime Downs and half-breds moved off steadily at full prices; but inferior breeds met a slow sale at barely late rates. The general top figure was 5s 2d per 61bs. A few very superior Downs realised 5s 4d. Prime lambs commanded full quotations with a steady demand. Inferior lambs were dull on former terms. Calm were in moderate supply, and slow request at late rates, viz., from 4s to 5s per B..bs. The pork trade was heavy on former terms. Per 81bs. to sink the offal. s. d. s. d.

Charles Humbert on a charge of havin g suppressed a will under the following circum stances :—Some 20 years since, a M. Humbert, who hid made a tolerable fortune as an ironfounder, died, leaving a widow about 40 years of age, and an only eon, the defendant. After attaining her 50th year Madame Humbert found a second hus band in the person of M. Aus,uste Liver des, with whom she lived till her death, on the 21st January, 1860, after making a will, by which S he left all 1 her property to her son, M. Charles Humbert, the I defendant, on condition of .1.1 8 paying her second husband a yearly pension of 2,400 f. The will men tioned no other legacy ; much to the disappointment of a niece of the testratrix, le.dlle. Cruzel, who said her aunt had promised to g ive her 20,000 f., but M. Laverdet assured her this. he had esrefaily exa mined all his decsased a ifs'i. papsrs, without find ing any will or codicil to ens ins et , The widower, too, was dissatisfied with tlsa will, and complained f bitterly to the universal htgatee, notwithstanding the latter had spontaneous ty consented to pay him 3,000 fr. a year instead of the 2,400 fr, left in th e will. Three years later, however, M. Laverdet stated to several of his fri.nnds that he had found a paper in his wife's desk, ts so days after her decease, in which she left her niece I,ooofr. a year for life, and ho had given this document to the defendant, in the full confidence that he would execute his mother's wishes. Madi le. Cruzel in consequence applied :o the defendant, who denied that Laverdet had ever given him such a document. The present proceeding s were then taken. M. Laverdet repeated in court the above statement respecting his finding the paper in question and giving it to the defendant, and attempted to explain his long silence, but apparently not to the satisfaction of the Tribunal, for the President remarked that it was very strange the witness had never once alluded to the existence of this paper in his three years' cor respondence with the defendant, which was not always of the most friendly kind. Several witnesses were examined, but their evidence was most cons tradictory, and consisted chiefly of reports of their conversations with Laverdet. The defendant denied that any such paper had ever been given to him by Laverdet and, declared that the charge was fabri cated for malicious purposes. After a short deliberation the Tribunal decided that the existence of the will was not proved, and accordingly acquitted the defendant. The Correctional Tribunal of Vendome (Cher•et- Loir) has just tried four farmers residing at Epui say, on a charge of obstructing the cure of the parish in the performance of his clerical duties. It appeared from the evidence that, for the last fifteen years a grand mass has been celebrated at Epuisay on the 25th of May, in honour of what is called the "Farmer's Fete," but this year the cure positively refused to continue the usage, alleging as his reason that. only five persons attended on the last occasion, and that he wished to avoid affording any opportu• nity for riotous festivities. This refusal caused great irritation in the parish, and on the morning of the 26th ult.. when the me went to the chu:eh to celebrate the usual morning mass, he found the defendants and others waiting close by to pre vent his entering, and a number of broken nails had been put into the lock so that he could not open the door. On the following Sunday, the defendants, with about 70 other persons, again refused to let him enter the church, and he then withdrew to avoid any dispute. For these offences the defendants were summoned before the tribunal, and the Public Prosecutor pressed for a conviction under Art. 261 of the Penal Code. The tribunal, however, decided that the article in question only applied to disorderly conduct inside the church, and accordingly acquitted the defendants, after severely reptimanding them for their conduct. The Court of Assizes of the Pure has just tried a man named Tainard, manager of the Discount Bank of Pont-Audemer and Louviers, on numerous charges of embezzlement and falsifying the etc• counts for the purpose of defrauding the share- holders. It appears from the indictment that the prisoner, who was well-known for his skill in the banking business, having been employed for many years in first-rate houses, formed a joint-stock company in 1852 for the purpose of founding a discount bank at Pont-Audemes under the name of Tainard and Co., of which he under took the management. On the 22d December, 1862, the company was declared bankrupt by the Tribunal of Commerce, and the liabilities were found to be 700,000 fr., while the assets were barely 50,000 fr. The prisoner was arrested the same day, as it was evident that fraud must have been prac tised, since the bank had always appeared to be a flourishing concern, and had regularly paid divi dends to the shareholders. A public accountant was appointed to examine the books, which he found to be in a most confused state. After 18 months' labour, the accountant presented his report, from which it appeared that the books had been ntentionally falsified from the very first, and that he bank had alwlys been a losing concern. The yearly loss was proved to be 65,000 fr. on an average, but the balance•sheet presented to the shareholders always appeared to justify the declaration of a divi dend. The counsel for the prisoner argued that here had bee❑ no frandulent intention on the part of his client, who had vigaronsly struggled against ill fortune, and had only misrepresented the state of the bank in the hope that he should at last be able to retrieve all past losses. After hearing the P to cureur-Imperial, who pressed for a conviction, the jury acquitted the prisoner on the charges o f era _ bczzlement, but found him guilty of falsifying the accounts and of using them for the purpose of de ception. The Court consequently condemned Tainard to five years' imprisonment. 100 f. fine, and ten years' interdictioa of the civil rights mentioned in Art. 42 of the Penal Cade.
